Good Morning,

Thanx to the folks that provided usefull information. Some of your
feedback was quite helpfull, and much appreciated. My requirements
for research were fairly broad: (1) The capability to generate and
compare mathematical hash's of files and/or directories; (2) the
ability to store system specific configuration meta-data and compare;
(3) the ability to store ACL meta-data and compare. Exactly WHAT
files, directories, etc...to monitor and comply with the requirements
against was not specified. Thus my questions.

"TripWire" (to the best of my understanding) is both a commercial
product offering, and a SourceForge Open Source tool that has the
capability of computing, storing and comparing a mathematical hash of
a file, directory of BLOB object.

Not so many thanx to the folks that superior attitude, thinly veiled
as knowledge. It is this behavior that gives the technologist such a
bad reputation to the business side of the house.



Since you explained exactly none of this in your original post, I
think the superior attitude was entirely appropriate.
